Re "horrible acts", this doesn't sound likely, considering the general lack of documentation or bipartisan outrage.
Do you have a preferred link with a stolid, well-documented account of the worst abuses?

1. Build a wall to control flow.
2. Allow anyone to come to the border and seek asylum.
3. Have enough humane beds/housing to store them at the border while their application is processed.
4. Hire enough officials and judges to process all claims timeously.
5. Fingerprint, photograph and document anyone that applies.
6. Turn away all individuals that re-apply without new evidence and attempt to clog the system by creating too much load.
Oh and 7: If they come as a family, let them stay together under monitoring.
And corollary to 7 would be 8: Do DNA tests on all family groups to affirm family status to prevent trafficking
At this point, if no hiccups arise, the wall is only necessary for those that wish to bypass a well-functioning system designed to treat people humanely and allow them to get refuge if they are being persecuted.

There's also the issue of parole: releasing asylum seekers if they were initially approved for asylum by the court but the government is appealing the decision. In Damus v. McAleenan. In the recent decision (https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/as... ) the Judge notes that, while parole was granted in over 90% of these cases in 2016, parole hasn't been granted for a single such case in all of 2019.
